I also have LotusNotes at work that I have auto forwarding on receipt to my Earthlink account.

I do this because I can check one account for mail (Earthlink) and I use a laptop that is often off of the network so I really cant use the desktop client. Also my company doesnt have POP3 Mail or IMAP or webmail. The only way you can check mail is through RAS on your computer with a Notes Client.

Anyway...To answer your question...I'm pretty much getting one sms per email and I get them pretty quickly from the time I receive the original email. The biggest lag I've ever has was around 10 minutes or so. I'm not sure if the lag was from my server or Voicestreams but either way...it's pretty quick!

Here's a tip for anyone who has a computer on all day (at the office, at home, wherever). Just set up a filter that forwards all incoming mail to your phone's address. You won't get the whole thing but you'll know when you get the e-mail and what the subject is. Moreover, you can turn it on and off easily. I use this when I'm expecting an important e-mail.

i havent gotten anything either. but really for the best since iambic mail seems to stay connected with gprs. but I still haven't figured out how to check at regular intervals. I paid for it, so I only have trials of multimail/treomail/aileron. plus i'd like to know how much data i'm using.

No, that's not it. T-Mobile/Voicestream checks my ACTUAL pop mail account and sends me an SMS alert when it has new mail. TM/VS would not be confused as to where to send the SMS, they send it directly to the phone, not to it's email address.
